lyrics
Somewhere past the lump in my throat
Is a word I can't pronounce
It has the power to give some meaning to
The silence that's surrounding the both of us
My first time
Your last time
Your heart's tired
But my arms are wide
Caution, hesitate
When love shows its eager face
You escape
cuz you've been burned once or twice before
But I'm here to kickstart your heart
with my electric attitude
My first time
Your last time
Your heart's tired
But my arms are wide
Love aches but there ain't no other way
Somewhere past the lump in my throat
Is a word I wan to announce
But I'm here to kickstart your heart
with my electric attitude
My first time
Your last time
Your heart's tired
But my arms are wide
Your last time
You almost died
We can get this right
Just give it a try
Love aches but there ain't no other way
It's a price I'm willing to pay
For your love
